You're not off-roading in an Element, but sure, let's see what you've got. Although you won't appease me, you'll probably give all of our hardcore, soft-roaders a nice chub.
Not just Ford though, all manufactures.
Hell, back in 2013-2014 Woodhouse (the big guns of Blair, NE) were taking $14,000 off of brand new F150s. You could source an even better deal and get darn near pick of what you wanted from their massive lot. Loaded XLT 4x4 for $35,000, Lariat for...
I was thinking about this earlier and I don't necessarily feel it's "affordable", I think we've just been tricked into thinking it's "affordable" because all mid-size and full-size vehicles have become so "un-affordable."
7 years ago I had a hard time convincing myself that I needed a brand new...
What? :ROFLMAO: If my "soft-roader" comment offends, so be it. If anybody thinks that their compact-truck is going to be something that can tag along with the Raptor Boys in a SnoBall run, they're mistaken. Now, if they increase ground clearance, size up the tires, they should have no trouble...
What's your concern with the wheel weight? Tire weight has a significantly larger impact on performance.
Example time:
You take a 25 lb OEM 17" wheel and replace it with a 22 lb aftermarket 17", BUT you decide to go up in tire size and the taller tire is 3 lbs heavier (lets say 34 lb at 30"...
I wouldn't take a Maverick "off-road" in any format, but I'm suspecting my idea of "off-road" varies greatly from most of you. I think for the sake of most here, you'd actually be classified as "soft-roaders", nothing wrong with that, just a better definition IMO.
If I needed/wanted to go...
That's quite literally what I said in my post that you quoted lol:
"Not to mention, there are probably a significant amount of folks who may have initially reserved, yet changed their minds, thus those folks would not be the ones who frequent this site and tell us they reserved one or two but...
I mean, in Ford's trim comparison guide, they call this an XLT when it's clearly a Lariat LOL (silver grille, painted door handles, signature lighting). Wouldn't be the first discrepancy they've made.

While our conversion rate here is not jiving with what I imagine the "overall" rate to be, it is still very telling IMO. We can see that quite a few have had to place more than one reservation before placing an order. Not to mention, there are probably a significant amount of folks who may...
While they are showing the 12 units on their site, some of those could certainly be retail orders as well.
My local dealer puts all vehicles on their website, I think it is actually automatically uploaded once they recieve notification that the build has commenced, even retail orders get put on...
I don't even know of anyone who uses carsforsale.. Just go to the actual dealer site and you can clearly see they have stock units that have been assigned VINs.

All of these Mavericks have VINS when you look at Mac Haik's ACTUAL website, not the carsforsale.com link.. They're not gaming any system or trying to sell trucks that don't exist. They have legit VINs on their site, they probably have stock orders that are built/being built right now. I...
